Grandparent gave DS taurine

My father (DS grandpa) watches him twice a month while I work. Today he watched him and took a photo of DS drinking his protein drink and sent it to me as a funny moment. I didn't think it was funny at all and when I came to pick DS up I read the ingredients and they were a bunch of long sounding chemical names and taurine.
I told my dad to not do that again and he laughed and said it was only about 1 ounce and joked that next time he wouldn't take a picture.
I am really frustrated and wanted to get your opinion. Would you be upset if this happened, or am I overreacting?
Thanks!

well, if he had appologized and said he wouldnt donit again then I would have let it go. but with his response about how next time u just wont get a picture , I would have probably said to him "next time? there isn't going to be one of those". how dangerous his actions were, and then claiming he doesn't care and would do it again (geez, ignorance I could forgive) is just showing you how little concern of your childs well-being is being considered here. some of those ingredients in adults can kill immediately. a baby hasnt even had the chance to build up any immunity to those kinds of chemicals or develop a strong enough natural cleansing/detoxing system! you arent over reacting and my child would not be left in that persons care again (idgaf who it was either, my own mother whom I trust just below me and dh would not be allowed to be alone with my dd for a LONG time after such a stupid thing to do to a baby)

My BFs dad is that way, he blows off anything I say. So I go to BFs mom and let her know pretty sternly that whatever it is doesn't happen again. She knows if I find out something happened, that I control whether or not they see her. I think his mom might be scared of me(lol). But if what yours did, happened I'd probably not let him have her. That's a bit extreme.

I think you have a right to be upset, but not letting him watch ds anymore is a bit extreme especial if you don't have alternate childcare. He likely doesn't understand the significance of the chemical additives and their effects. I would search and find more info on them and explain to grandpa how they are not good for ds. I am pretty sure it's bad for his kidneys bc of the high protein concentration. Make sure he knows you are serious. He probably thinks it's not a big deal and your are overreacting, hence the joke. If after your talk he still has the same attitude then you can take more drastic measures.
